    Slob U - Cornfield Sports Pod 02/28/2024

    Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard called the entire fanbase slobs for the purpose of not selling beer to the entirety of Jack Trice Stadium. The result is that following a tough loss at Oklahoma State the fanbase is now even more unhappy.Men's basketball preceded the loss at Oklahoma State with a loss at Houston, sending them on a two game skid and likely putting a 2 seed out of reach with only three regular season games to go. The next two games, against Arizona and BYU, are both ranked games.Women's basketball had a turbulent week with a difficult loss to Baylor where everything seemed to go wrong at once, followed by a fantastic win at UCF where everything seemed to go right all at once. They need to keep clicking as they enter their final game of the regular season this Sunday vs K-StateGive the Cornfield Sports Pod a like and a followFind us on twitter @CSportsPodFind Matt @SFMattISUFind Blake @blakeattack1846

    Houston Preview - Cornfield Sports Pod 02/21/2024

    The Cyclones gear up for their biggest basketball game of the season since their showdown against Auburn when they travel to Houston to play the Cougars. It's a fire vs ice matchup with Iowa State's offensive firepower against Houston's lock down defense.The Twister Sisters also prepare for a big game against Baylor. The Clones have yet to get a win against a ranked opponent in women's basketball. A road trip to Waco could be that opportunity. A win would give the Cyclones a much needed boost as March approaches.Iowa State wrestling went 1-1 last weekend, with nearly every bout going chalk. There were a couple of exceptions to that in the dual at UNI, particularly with Paniro Johnson's stalling allowing Colin Realbuto to win the bout. The Cyclones will compete in their final dual of the season tomorrow at Mizzou.Give the Cornfield Sports Pod a like and a followFind us on twitter @CSportsPodFind Matt @SFMattISUFind Blake @blakeattack1846

    The Slump Must End - Cornfield Sports Pod 02/07/2025

    Iowa State men's basketball has just hit its first 3 game losing streak in 2 seasons now that losses to K-State and Kansas have fallen upon the stagnant Cyclones. With the K-State loss also went Iowa State's 29 game home winning streak, and it's back to square one tomorrow.The twister sisters are still inconsistent on the court, but recent performances by Arianna Jackson and Kelsey Joens have shown flashes of the team's potential and their underlying talent. Meanwhile, Audi Crooks and Addy Brown have continued to dominate by putting up high scoring numbers.Give the Cornfield Sports Pod a like and a followFind us on twitter @CSportsPodFind Matt @SFMattISUFind Blake @blakeattack1846

    Jerome Tang Set to Struggle - Cornfield Sports Pod 01/31/2025

    Tomorrow marks the day of Jerome Tang's return to Hilton Coliseum, where he most certainly will not be met with a warm welcome one year following the baseless cheating allegations against the Iowa State team, cursing out the Cyclone managers, and calling Tamin Lipsey the biggest flopper in the league. Iowa State also tends to get a little extra rowdy during white out games, and this happens to be one of those. Hilton Coliseum will be a hornets nest. The women's basketball team also just put up an honorable fight against the purple kitties at Bramlage Coliseum before falling short in overtime. If the twister sisters play the way they did in that game against any other team in the Big 12, they would be able to string a win together. Hopefully, playing that way becomes a pattern and not a fluke so that the Cyclones can compete for solid seeding in the Big 12 tournament.

    Cyclone Offense Remains Strong - Cornfield Sports Pod 01/24/2025

    Iowa State men's basketball lost Milan Momcilovic nine days ago to injury, and in the three games that have been played since, the bench has stepped up, with Demarion Watson claiming more minutes and Curtis Jones stepping into a starting role, leading to wins in two out of the three games since then. Iowa State women's basketball remains hit or miss, struggling against West Virginia over the weekend, leaving the Cyclones winless in Morgantown. The Twister Sisters bounced back with a dominating win over BYU on Wednesday night, weathering a storm early before winning by 23. Iowa State wrestling returns to the mat tonight at Beauty and the Beast against the 22 ranked Oklahoma Sooners, who remained a part of the Big 12 in wrestling while other sports went to the SEC. Iowa State consistently performs well against Oklahoma in duals. Give the Cornfield Sports Pod a like and a follow @CSportsPod Find Matt on twitter @SFMattISU Find Blake @blakeattack1846

    Pop Tarts Bowl Preview - Cornfield Sports Pod 12/27/2024

    It's time for the Cyclones to step up to the plate at Camping World Stadium as they enter the Pop Tarts Bowl against the Miami Hurricanes. The Canes slate up as a tough, strength on strength matchup led by one of the best passer-receiver combos in the country with Cam Ward and Xavier Restrepo. Men's basketball enters Big 12 play in only a few days, and the Cyclones get to enter conference play against Colorado, a team that we already played once, and beat the brakes off of, in Maui. This matchup bodes well for the Cyclones, who have as many ways to score as anybody in the country.

    The Calm Before The Cyclone - Cornfield Sports Pod 12/20/2024

    The Iowa State football team has landed four players from the transfer portal who should be immediate contributors on both offense and defense, especially since next year's team will lack playmakers Darien Porter, Jaylin Noel, and Jayden Higgins. Cyclone men's basketball had a relatively quiet week and will have one more week of relative quiet before things heat up in conference play with a trip to Colorado. The women's team, on the other hand, does not get to wait for the Big 12 gauntlet, starting their slate of league games tomorrow against Oklahoma State. Iowa State wrestling will be competing in three duals tomorrow, against Lock Haven, North Carolina, and Ohio State. Projections have the Cyclones coming out of the weekend 2-1, but there is room for things to get a little bit rougher thanks to the injury bug.
